Confucius once said, “Fools and their money are soon parted.” It’s just a matter of time before someone finds a way to associate this with the Illuminati.

According to TMZ.com:

TMZ has obtained this exclusive photo of LeBron James in a business meeting earlier today with Rabbi Yishayahu Yosef Pinto … a man known around New York as the “Rabbi to the Business Stars.”

Sources involved with the meeting tell us LeBron had hired Rabbi Pinto for spiritual guidance for a “big merchandising meeting” that took place on a private yacht somewhere off the coast of NY just hours ago.

Rabbi Pinto — a 37 year-old-man who speaks only Hebrew — has met with all sorts of business moguls in the past … and is considered by some to be a “spiritual guide” who consults on business matters.

We’re told LeBron paid in the neighborhood of 6-figures to get Rabbi Pinto to sit in on today’s meeting… in which LeBron heard presentations from several “big time” retail execs.

Wow. LeBron couldn’t find a business/spiritual advisor who charges less than 6 figures for a one hour consultation?
